Kaweka Forest Park is in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand, adjacent to Kaimanawa Forest Park. This region of the central North Island contains large tracts of pine plantations, some of them also within the park, and as a consequence, invasive wilding conifers are present throughout the 594 km2 (229 sq mi) park. The highest peak in the park is Kaweka at 1,724 metres (5,656 ft). The Mangatutu Hot Springs, in the vicinity of the Mohaka River, are in the park.
